Joseph Heller's Use of Time in Catch 22
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that examines how Joseph Heller manipulates time in his novel Catch-22. The writer argues that by manipulating time and telling episodes from his protagonist's war experience out of chronological order, Heller facilitates conveying his main message to his reading audience, which is, first of all, that war is not only hell, it's sheer lunacy; and, also, that men who are fighting the war do what they have to do, mentally, emotionally, and physically, to survive.

Joseph Heller’s “Good as Gold” in Relation to Business and Political and Historical Issues
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing business, political, historical and cultural aspects of Joseph Heller’s novel “Good as Gold”. American writer Joseph Heller (1923-1999) is probably best known for his anti-war novel “Catch-22” written in 1961. Born of poor Jewish parents however, Heller often reflected on his cultural heritage and its place in modern American society especially in the novel “Good as Gold” written in 1979. The protagonist, English professor Bruce Gold “tries to regain the Jewishness he has lost” throughout his involvement with presidential public relations (Books, 2000). Heller, through the use of puns and verbal games which are considered suitable for the Washington environment, manages to incorporate not only an interesting storyline for Gold but also interesting and significant business, historical and cultural references for his readers.
